Tho Perpetrators of the Deed Under
Lock and Key.
Early last evening Joe Edwards, a pu
gilist, and Dan Riley, who were members
of the gang of -shovelers on the
hill'' few days ago, met an old German
named Adolph Rudolph, who had also
been member OF the shoveling corps, at
one of the hotels, and renewed acquaint-
ance. The subject of employment coming
up, Riley told Rudolph he would for So
give him an order by which he might get
steady work at Port Costa. The money
was paid, and Riley wrote the order. Sub
sequenly he suggested to Edwards that
they take Rudolph away somewhere
and do him up" Edwards
consenting, Riley told Rudolph
that Edwards father had fine hotel up
town, and invited him 10 go and see it.
They walked out TO the north levee, on
Twelfth street, and in that vicinity they
knocked him down, beat and robbed him,
securing So 20 in money and a purse, con-
tanning among other things note for 800.
The money they divided, and the purse
was thrown away. Rudolph reported the
matter at the police Office. and gave de-
y
other things that one Of the men had
patch on or near his elbow. Later in the
evening officer Sullivan heard a diff
Guilty in a dance hall on Second street,
between K and L, and going there found
that there had been a fight in progress,
and one of the men was present, bleeding
from slight hurt, but the other had dis
Sullivan endeavored to find out
what the trouble was, but no man could
tell. The barkeeper, John Fipps, happen
ing to brush past the officer, the latter no.
ticed that he was armed, and stopped
him. Seeing that ne was in trouble,
he became willing TO assist the Off
Ger, and showed him where the other
nghter was, in q back room. Sullivan
arrested him, and he proved TO be Ed
wards. 1t was subsequently observed that
he had patch on his coat answering the
description given by Rudolph, and when
he found that he was identified he weak
ened and confessed the whole matter. He
had just given description of Riley, when
that worthy appeared at the lookup
to see him and try and help him
out, but his good intentions were spoiled
by Edwards giving a hint as to his
identity. Chief Dillman and Sullivan went
out with lantern last night to try and find
the purse taken from Rudolph at the place
where Edwards said it was thrown, but
they were unsuccessful, and will make an
other effort to-day. Fipps, the barkeeper,
who was found 10 be armed with pistol
and knife, has had a charge of carrying
deadly weapons entered against him. The
knife is the same one that man named
Matthias was a few days ago fined S. for
carrying.

Unhappy Clerks.

The Assembly Committee on Retrench-
ment, Gould Chairman, met at the noon
recess yesterday to investigate the charges
made some days since against Jacob Shaen,
the Engrossing Clerk of the Asse nbly. 1t
is charged that during the late extra session
of the Legislature, while acting in the ca
pacity of Engrossing Clerk, he defrauded
the State out of some $500, by certifying TO
claims for more than he was entitled to.
Shaen appeared before the committee
and stated his case, claiming that there was
nothing in, the charges; that they had been
presented by an individual By the name of
McCarty, who had been an unsuccessful
applicant for the position. Smarting un-
der defeat, McCarty had sworn to be re-
yenged, and his false statements and mis-
representation of facts to newspaper CORE
spondents was the foundation for the
charges, all of which he could wholly dis
prove He then explained that about half
ofthe amount received at the time spoken
of was for copying that he had done, and
was legitimate charge against the State
At the time he drew his warrant there was
doubt in the Controllers mind as to the
legality of the claim for copying, but it was
paid to him with the understanding that
if ever afterwards it should be decided that
the claim was an improper one, the money
should be refunded 1t was a square bust
ness proposition. He had performed the
duties, received pay for his labor, and that
was The end of it. He had acted in this
capacity for five sessions, was fully CONVEX
SAINT with the duties of the office he had
performed them well, and had received no
more compensation than the law allowed
The committee adjourned before Shaen
had completed his statement
At 7P. NJ. they reconvened, but owing to
the absence of some important witnesses
they again adjourned to 0 A. NJ. to-day.
The special committee Heath, Chair
NAM appointed by the Assembly to inves-
tigate the charges against the Clerk who is
charged with having advanced bill one
hundred numbers on the file, met last even
ing, but adjourned to this morning without
taking action

New SYSTEM OF LocATISG-The San
Diego Union, of January 3Oth, has an article
upon this topic, in which it thus refers to
former Sacramentan A" Lew B. Harris.
Jr., Chief Engineer of the San Diego Flume
Company, is the inventor of a new system
of locating, which has attracted the atten-
ton of West Point, and has been obtained
for publication in the textbooks in civil
engineering used at that academy. 1t is
very simple and avoids a cumbersome
method of calculation and greatly simplifies
the work of an engineer. But the develop
ment of the method involved about as
much labor and skill as the calculation of
a table of logarithms." Mr.. Harris is a
native of Sacramento, and was student in
the High School of this city, and his sue
cess in thus securing the attention of the
faculty of the military academy at West
Point is complimentary TO his educational
attainments.
THE TRAINS AND RoADs.-The West
bound express train was about two hours
and half behind time in its arrival yes
terday morning. The Western Pacific
train, arriving here in the afternoon, did
not connect at Lathrop with the Southern
Pacific but a special from Lathrop came up
mails. The California and Oregon road
was expected to be open to its terminus at
Montague last night, but, in case the slide
was not entirely cleared away between
Sims and Castle creek it had been arranged
that passengers could be transferred around
the obstruction. Freight trains on the hill
were all running again yesterday. The
weather there, and in fact generally
throughout this section of the State, was
clear and pleasant.
JUDGMENT AFFIRNED.-The Supreme
Court has rendered decision in the case
of r. A Fisk, Jr., VS.. the Central Pacific
Railroad Company, holding that nonsuit
was properly granted by the Court below,
and ordering that the judgment appealed
from should be affirmed. This was an
action to recover damages for personal IN
iuries. An employee of the company named
Shape sent the plaintiff to do certain work
in the boiler-shop of the company at Sacra-
mento, where the injuries were received.
1t was held that Shape was not authorized
to employ any one or give any orders, and
therefore the company was not responsible
for his act.
THE MoKELUNNE GRANT Casa cor
respondent desires to know whether the
settlers have perfected an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court from Judge
Sawyer's decision in the Mokelumne Grant
case. which was decided last season. We
are not aware that an appeal has been
completed.

Rather Too Preyinns.

Yesterday was certainly poor day for
" items in Sacramento, but that scarcely
justified our evening contemporary of uu-
settled politics and miscellaneous ill-temper
in manufacturing Court proceedings out of
whole cloth, as it did in the double headed
article entitled Laws Uncertainties"
" Newspaper Uncertainties would posi-
bly, have been caption more BETTING.
The article referred to the case of John
Norton, held to answer in the Police Court
on charge of buying and receiving stolen
property, knowing it TO have been stolen,
and proceeds to say that it took another
turn this afternoon in Judge Van Fleets
Court. w. a. Anderson and Isaac Joseph,
attorneys for Norton, moved the Court to
set aside the plea entered in this case, in
order to file demurrer, and motion to set
aside the information Then it pro-
ceeded to give all the points made
by Mr.. Anderson, which appear to
have been ingenious and far-reaching,
he not having omitted anything in
support of his motion except that the
Clerk of the Police Court parts his whiskers
in the middle. Altogether it was pretty
good report and when it closed with
when the Bee went to press the questions
had not been determined by the Court
the reader was given to understand that
the words were just sticking out of the
Judges mouth, so to speak. The only
thing interfering with the beauty of this
item is its lack of accuracy; not in any very
important particular, only it may be men,
toned that no such case was heard by
Judge Van Fleet, nor in either Department
of the Superior Court, yesterday Ofcourse
q little discrepancy like that does not count
for much, but it makes person wonder
how the reporter found out what the lawyer
did, or thought he did, or intended to do,
in the case. OF course no attorney would
give his points away to a reporter, but he
may have soliloquized little This is an
other and striking evidence of the enter

Death of Ex-police officer Harvey.

George H. Harvey an old resident of the
city, and for about eighteen years peace
officer, died at Ills last night, after an i'll
ness of several weeks, at his residence,
Thirteenth and G streets, leaving a wife
and four children, two of the latter being
about OF age. Deceased was a native of
Maine, and in his 51st year. His father
came to California in 1S49, and he came
with his brothers and sisters in July, 1854
when he was II years of age. His father
having interests in teams freight
ing over the mountains, George soon be-
came teamster, on the route between
California and Nevada, and followed the
business for several years. Subsequently he
became member of the Police Depart
ment, and with experience became pos
sessed of much detective ability and being
determined and honest, he was considered
a valuable officer. He was kind hearted
and well-disposed toward his fellow man,
willing to overlook defects, and preferripg
to say a good word rather shan to speak
harshly or carpingly. Such man makes
many friends, who grieve to hear that he
is taken from among them.

THERE You ARE WRoE6.-The San Fran
ing After announcing that they would
go east over their own line, Messrs Towne,
Stubs and Gray started Chicagoward on
Wednesday afternoon. But it seems that
they really had no intention of joining the
army of -blockaded passengers, for
they quietly left the Central Pacific train at
Port Costa and as quietly took the after
noon train going East over the Atlantic
and Pacific, which they knew was free
from distractions" The gentlemen re-
ferred to, with several others in the party,
passed through Sacramento Wednesday

over the Central Pacific. They were snow
bound at Colfax twelve or fifteen hours,
